The Sheffield rockers won the prize in 2006 for their debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, and have been nominated another two times – for Favourite Worst Nightmare in 2007, and AM in 2013.

The Alex Turner-fronted band recently returned with their sixth album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, after a hiatus that lasted several years, and the record – while drawing mixed reviews from critics – debuted at the top of the charts in May.

This is the first Mercury Prize nomination for the singer-songwriter, whose latest album was released in June and peaked at number eight in the charts.

It came after a four-year break following her 2014 album Sheezus, and the electropop-inspired album includes collaborations with the likes of rapper Giggs, and has personal songs about the breakdown of her marriage, her maternal guilt and other troubles.

Florence Welch’s musical outfit will be hoping to score their first win after two nominations in the past – for debut album Lungs in 2009, and How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful in 2015.

The indie rock band’s latest album, High As Hope, was another record with generally favourable reviews, although it was the first of the group’s four releases to not top the charts, thanks to heavy competition from Canadian rapper Drake, whose album was released the same week in late June.

Multi-talented King Krule, real name Archy Marshall, is a rapper, singer-songwriter and record producer whose music crosses the boundaries of trip hop, R&B, hip hop, punk rock and jazz.

The 23-year-old from London’s third album, The Ooz, his second under his King Krule stage name, peaked at number 23 on the charts following its release in October, and was named as Vice magazine’s third best album of 2017.

Record producer Richard Russell’s debut under the Everything Is Recorded moniker was released earlier this year, and included collaborations with the likes of last year’s Mercury winner Sampha, Peter Gabriel and Giggs.

Russell is best known as the boss of record label XL Recordings, which has worked with music heavyweights including Adele, Radiohead, Dizzee Rascal and The xx, among many others.

Geordie singer-songwriter and musician Nadine Shah’s third album, her most acclaimed yet, has scored her first Mercury nomination.

The 32-year-old post-punk artist sings about gentrification, the refugee crisis and the failure of politicians in the north of England on Holiday Destination, which reached number 71 on the charts last year.

The British jazz group, fronted by British-Barbadian saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, have received their first nomination for their third album, which rejects Britain’s monarch and offers inspirational black women from history as alternatives.

Hutchings’ other group, The Comet Is Coming, were nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2016 for Channel The Spirits.

The 21-year-old grime MC and producer, real name Kojo Kankam, unveiled his debut album Novelist Guy earlier this year, after having already made an impact on the industry – he was nominated for the best new grime act Mobo award in 2014.

Despite the Lewisham-based star’s record not hitting the official albums chart, the record was widely commended by critics and fans, and has been described as “one of grime’s brightest young hopes” by The Guardian.
